Disabled Canadian who lured teens, including Alabama girl, into Web sex gets weekends in jail

OTTAWA -- An Ottawa man with cerebral palsy who convinced twin 13-year-old girls to perform sex acts on themselves in front of a webcam was sentenced to 90 days in jail to be served on weekends, The Ottawa Citizen reports.

Ontario Court Justice Lise Maisonneuve said she felt one day in jail for the 28-year-old was the "equivalent of a much greater span for anyone else" and rejected the request of prosecutors for a 9- to 12-month sentence.

Jorge Carepa pleaded guilty to invitation to sexual touching in August, admitting that he invited an Ottawa police detective posing as a 13-year-old girl to touch herself during 3 online chats in October 2008.

Posing as an 80-year-old retired teacher, Carepa went online searching for "penpals" between 12 and 25 years old.

Police launched their investigation after receiving three separate complaints, including one from the parents of a 13-year-old girl in Alabama who discovered chats Carepa had been having with their child.
